The Accumulo community decided to draft the Apache community reports on the Accumulo dev list – and this is a draft of the October report for review / comments. I’d like to submit the report by Sept 30th (it is formally by Oct 11th)
The text below is copied from the reporting tool and may not reflect the final formatting of the final report when submitted. Ed Coleman --- report tool text --- ## Description: The mission of Apache Accumulo is the creation and maintenance of software related to a robust, scalable, distributed key/value store with cell-based access control and customizable server-side processing. ## Project Status: Current project status: Current project status: Ongoing with moderate activity. Issues for the board: None. Accumulo is currently working two significant development efforts. Improving the performance and stability of the 2.1.x line and the evolution of the processing model to support dynamic scaling and provide elasticity. The issue concerning accumulodata.com domain was raised at the last board meeting. We have not been reporting on the issue because there has been no progress and we stopped actively pursuing the issue (see past reports for details.) The domain was registered and is owned by an Accumulo PMC member, but the domain was registered using an account that is not longer accessible. Without access to that account, the registrar will not take any action. For some reason, the domain continues to be auto-renewed. The domain clearly provides historical information and points to the official Accumulo ASF site for downloads. There seems little incentive to use volunteer's time to pursue the issue at this time. Unless things change, we will not continue to report on this issue in future reports. ## Membership Data: Apache Accumulo was founded 2012-03-21 (12 years ago) There are currently 42 committers and 39 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 1:1. Community changes, past quarter: - Daniel Roberts was added to the PMC on 2023-08-09 - Daniel Roberts was added as committer on 2023-08-10 ## Project Activity: ### Releases: - accumulo-2.1.2 was released on 2023-08-21. - accumulo-3.0.0 was released on 2023-08-21. - accumulo-1.10.3 was released on 2023-04-13. Activity on 2.1.3 has been very active with bug-fixes and performance improvements that are being driven by community adoption of 2.1.x as 1.10.x approaches end of life. Accumulo is planning on a 2.1.3 release [1] this quarter with additional bug fixes and performance improvements. As of 2023-09-27, there have been 40 issues / PR closed since 2.1.2 was released. There are just a few items that have been marked as blockers for 2.1.3, and they are actively being worked. Accumulo is planning on a 1.10.4 release [2] this quarter as the last release of the 1.10 line that reaches declared end-of-life 2023-11-01. Accumulo 3.0.0 release was a removal of deprecated items as permitted by semver. And work is actively proceeding on 3.1 that will contain new features and performance improvements. In parallel to 3.1, work on the evolution of the Accumulo processing model to support dynamic scaling and provide elasticity [3]. The goal for Accumulo is to move from a model where active table metatdata and table data management is hosted in active processes to a model that can dynamically scale server components on-demand to provide configurable latency and higher scalability. the community has not decided if the redesign will be a 3.x or a 4.0 release. ## Community Health: Overall community health is good and GitHub activity remains consistent. - The current decline in GitHub activity is due to quiet post-release activity and work concentrating on a redesign efforts, including activity occurring on Confluence - Accumulo has transitioned from Jira to GitHub issues. The remaining Jira activity reflects closing obsolete issues. ## Links [1] https://github.com/apache/accumulo/projects/30 [2] https://github.com/apache/accumulo/projects/27 [3] https://github.com/orgs/apache/projects/164/views/1 --- end report tool text ---
